Packet dump showing that HTTP response header coming down the pipe with
charset=iso8859_1.  This is the charset that Webkit is using to display the
page.  Switching the charset to GB2312 from the View menu changes the page to
display the proper Chinese characters.

Compared results against Firefox 3 -- Firefox is rendering the page with the
GB2312 charset despite the iso8859_1 info coming from the header.  Changing the
Firefox charset to iso8859_1, the exact same sequences of garbage characters
are shown as in Webkit.  With both browsers set to using GB2312, the Chinese
character sequence is the same.
